With the M2 by-passing Strood coupled with the one-way system in the town centre, it is easy to forget that St Nicholas with St Mary Church is on the ancient Watling Street between London, Canterbury and Dover. The tower is medieval and the church itself dates from 1812. It is not easy to photograph as it is right on the junction of the A2 (High Street) and A228 (Commercial Road).
